Editorial Reviews

Host Marie Cruz roams the canyons and plateaus of the Semien Mountain ranges along the warring-border zone of Eritrea. There, far from civilization, she discovers elaborate frescoes painted on the walls of a 12th century cave dwelling. She also stumbles across the brutal killing of livestock during a ritual ceremony to the Muslim God "Allah" the city of Gondar the Camelot of Africa. Don't Forget Your Passport is your ticket to an adventurous worldwide tour, hosted by a group of energetic and curious world travelers from around the globe. Awesome cinematography provides the backdrop for those spur-of-the-moment, intriguing, crazy yet absolutely real situations that only the most intrepid travellers find themselves in. Living with the cave-dwelling Berber tribes of North Tunisia, hiking through the polar cap villages of Greenland, or being caught in the middle of a street brawl in Guatemala: Don't Forget Your Passportis fearless and fun! Yet it's always good to know that at the end of the day, serenity is just a stone's throw away - in a rainbow-patched waterfall, deep in the steamy jungles of Sumatra, Indonesia. Ahhhh, heaven. Don't Forget Your Passport is a continuing journey into the fascinating cultures and stunning landscapes that make up our ever-changing planet. Warning: This episode contains brief nudity.

3.0 out of 5 stars Tourist guide for northern Ethiopia, August 28, 2009

This review is from: Don't Forget Your Passport: Ethiopia, Africa (DVD)

I have 2 sons adopted from Ethiopia and have traveled there twice (and am going again at the end of the year) so i am always on the lookout for DVD's on Ethiopia. This series is not available in Australia so I didn't know the format of the show. The footage was great and most of the information was pretty accurate but I found the presenter to be a little insensitive and not respectful of the culture. For example, on one island in Lake Tana she discovered that women were not supposed to go onto the island but she proceeded anyway, wearing a brief, shoestring singlet top, to visit the male only monestery making a few condescending remarks on the way.
I may just be a little sensitive but was disappointed with her general approach but it is worthwhile watching for the footage of the stunning countryside of the northern Ethiopian highlands.
